Hi All,A friend of mine just got a boat, and we wanted to check out Jeffs Head tomorrow evening. If we launched from Shilshole, can someone please tell me how to get there, and how long it takes?FYI Small boat, only 17ft, if that matters.

Thanks for the info guys!I got the map, and we went out for a couple of hours. Trolling along...my rod with the coho killer and small flasher goes off at 90 ft...i'm thinking my 0-fer streak since October 08 is over....rod is bouncing.......,.Dogfish! haha. I hit a small shaker, and the dogfish ate the shaker and set off the rod.

A few years back my good friend Chris Alton and I headed out of the marina there in a 12 foot john boat with a 8hp motor. We cruised all the way across the sound to Jeffs head on glass. Well of course 4 hours later we came back in 1-2ft chop, what a ride! He hooked up right around the green tank bouy on the way over, released a 20 pounder. If I remember right we were out of bounds. I told him to head to Eb, but he let it go. Made the fish gods happy that year, as this year it's been fish on!

Jeff head sucks, rarely a fish is caught there, that is the reason for all the boats there.

In a backhanded way this is really all the advice you need to learn to catch salmon in Puget Sound, particularly if you are a downrigger fisherman. Go to the biggest concentration of boats you can find and watch who catches fish. Follow them, match their speed, lures, and depth their fishing. Learn by observation and an occasional question. Be the report that everyone else is reading rather than fishing.

Thanks fellas. I do pay pretty close attention when I am able to get out and fish. I just have limited time and would like to make the most of my opportunities when I get a chance to be on the water. I will keep trying!
